I have a weird issue. Originally my rear washer stopped spraying. But I didn't care because I was lazy. Then the front ones stopped spraying a couple weeks later. I popped the hood and when I activated the washers, I can hear the pump turn on for the rear washer but not the front. No fluid for either one. I blasted the lines with compressed air and now the rear one works fine. But for the front, I still don't hear the pump activate and still get no fluid. Are there two washer pumps? One for front and rear? Do I need to replace the front pump?

I would have someone activate the front pump, with the front wipers pulled back from the windshield, to reduce the noise. Listen to see if there is any pump noise. If not, check to see if all fuses are seated, then wiggle the wires around the pump, while the person tries to activate it. If the pump is making noise, check to see if the line is loose, or detached.
If all else fails, replace the pump.
